After Zhong Tingzhi returned to his dao palace, he walked to the jade wall and flicked a ray of light into it. When Chong Tingzhi's figure appeared, he said, "There shouldn't be any problems with Zhu Tingzhi. He'll withdraw from the next court meeting and won't be a hindrance to our generation."
If a Tingzhi doesn't appear in a court meeting, then he's given up the right to make a decision this time. Those Tingzhi who didn't come before all had the same attitude.
Chong Tingzhi said, "I heard that Chao Huan went to see Feng and Gao recently."
Daoist Zhong wasn't surprised at all. He smiled and said, "As expected. The immoral cultivators want to rope them in. The matter of Crippling Xuan has nothing to do with them, so they don't need to stop us. It's just that they suffered a great loss last time, so they probably don't want to see us succeed this time."
Chong Tingzhi said, "What does Zhong Tingzhi want to do?"
Daoist Zhong said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll appease him. Now that the law to restrict him has been established, he's no longer a threat for the time being. As for how to persuade the chief enforcer, I'll have to trouble Daoist Chong."
Chong Tingzhi bowed and his figure dissipated into a cloud of clear mist.
Tanquan City, on a luxurious platform, a middle-aged cultivator was looking at the list in his hand. After he finished, he glanced at An Li below. "This is what your nephew wants?"
An Li respectfully said, "Yes." “
The middle-aged cultivator pointed at the list and said, "You're a master craftsman. What do you think he's going to do?"
An Li replied, "My nephew's mind is lively. He has too many strange and wonderful ideas. Sometimes, I don't know what he's thinking. But from these creation tools, I really can't guess." After thinking for a while, he added, "Even Father and Elder Brother can't tell."
The middle-aged cultivator grunted and said, "I'll verify it." He put the list in his sleeve and said, "Master Craftsman An."
An Li unconsciously listened attentively.
The middle-aged cultivator said, "Follow your nephew. If it's convenient, report his movements to us every day."
An Li hurriedly said, "Of course, of course. Every day, the food and drinks in the manor are very bland, without the slightest bit of oily smell. I can't get used to it. Every day, I come out to look for food. At that time, I just happened to report here. "
The middle-aged cultivator was quite satisfied with his attitude and said, "Then Mister An should go back as soon as possible. Don't let the people in the manor suspect you. You made the right choice. Once the situation is clear, I will report back and ask the higher-ups to give you an important position."
An Li was overjoyed and said, "Many thanks, Superior Cultivator."
After bidding farewell to the luxurious platform, he returned to the courtyard. Just as he stepped into his original residence, he raised his head and saw his nephew waiting there. He said, "Why are you here?"
An Zhizhi jumped down from his seat and stared at him, "Uncle, did you go out just now?"
An Li chuckled and walked forward, saying, "I've handed the list to them. Kid, I can only help you this much. However, aren't the things you showed them exactly what you wanted? It can be said to be exactly the same. There shouldn't be any problems, right? "
An Zhizhi curled his lips and said, "They're not stupid. They'll know the origin of the things I bought. However, if they can figure out what I want to do, then it's my loss."
An Li said, "It's fine as long as you know what you're doing. Remember, don't go out by yourself. If there's anything you need, I'll do it for you."
An Zhizhi said, "Uncle, every time you go out, remember to drink that medicinal soup."
An Li said unhappily, "I know, kid. Your uncle is twenty years older than you. I'm very steady in doing things. I don't need you to take care of me."
He recalled the taste of the medicine and couldn't help but shake his head. That thing was really bitter and astringent. However, there was no other way. It was said that only by drinking that medicine would his true thoughts not be seen through by those cultivators.
After taking care of him, he put away his things and prepared to take a bath. When he walked outside, he looked at the magnificent main hall and suddenly remembered the conversation in the clan before he sent An Xiaolang out.
The people in the clan all thought that Xuan Fa was about to fail and that Creation was about to flourish. How could a talented junior like An Xiaolang get close to a Xuanxiu at this time? Therefore, they didn't agree to let him out.
However, his father, An Song, scolded them for being short-sighted. He also thought that even if Xuan Fa was about to fail, what did it have to do with high-ranking cultivators like the Patrol Protector? If even someone like the Patrol Protector couldn't maintain his position, then the entire middle and lower levels of Tianxia would probably collapse. Xuanting definitely wouldn't allow it, so this was the perfect time to get close to him.
He had always admired his father's foresight. Although he wasn't good at dealing with people, he could always see very far. This time, he felt that his father might be right again.
At this moment, in the Military Affairs Department above Kuizu Earth, Hong Yuanqiu also received a message from Xuanting, asking him to announce the news and stabilize the situation at the same time.
However, most of Kuizu Earth's fighting forces were armored soldiers. Recently, with the popularization of Creation's military uniforms and medicinal oil, the role of cultivators, especially Xuanxiu, in the outer layer had imperceptibly decreased.
On the other hand, True Cultivators were mostly skilled in setting up Restriction Formations and observing Qi. They also didn't participate in military affairs, so they weren't affected much.
He thought for a moment, then summoned an advisor and said, "Xuanting has already given the order that the law established by Xuan Zun is the true law. In the past, Xuan Fa has already taken the title. Pass this news on later."
However, the advisor reminded him, "Chief, the other Xuanxiu are still fine, but those disciples of Yu Xuanzun are still outside Tanquan City. If they find out about this, won't they …"
Hong Yuanqiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Right, you reminded me."
Although he didn't think there would be any trouble, he couldn't not guard against this kind of thing. After all, there were hundreds of Xuanxiu, and they were from the same sect. If something happened, he would also have to bear the responsibility.
He said, "Take my order and transfer three thousand troops to watch over them. I'll go to Xuan Zun and ask for a decree talisman. It should be able to stabilize them."
The advisor bowed and said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."
At this moment, in the encampment of Yu Xuanzun's disciples, Bian Lan was reading a report in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly. Some of his fellow disciples around him also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Fellow Daoists, you can verify the authenticity of this news at any time. This humble Daoist wouldn't dare to deceive you on this matter."
The Daoist who spoke held a horsetail whisk, his long beard fluttering in the wind. He looked like an immortal and said, "Everyone, Xuanting has taken the title of the past Xuanxiu. Perhaps it won't be too much of a hindrance to the other Xuanxiu. In the end, that Xuan Zun has already opened up a path. But what about you? "
He said meaningfully, "You are all disciples of Yu Xuanzun. Not to mention that you can't easily throw away your master's law, even if you do, Xuan Zun might not necessarily accept you."
The hearts of the disciples present sank when they heard this.
They used to be disciples of Yu Xuanzun, thinking that they could reach the heavens in a single step. But now, they were told that the method they cultivated was actually not the right method.
Now, they had already been labeled as Yu Xuanzun. Their teacher was imprisoned by Xuanting, and it was done by Xuan Zun, who opened up the path of Dao. What future did they have in the future?
Bian Lan looked at the Daoist and said, "Fellow Daoist, for you to say these words, I presume you have something to teach us?"
The Daoist smiled and said, "I don't dare. I can give you a clear path. Since you can't stay here anymore, why don't you go somewhere else?"
Bian Lan looked at him deeply and said, "Oh? Where is that place? "
The Daoist smiled and pointed outside, saying, "Shangchen can be used."
Bian Lan's gaze sharpened and said, "You're from Shangchen?"
The Daoist didn't panic at all and said, "So what if it's Shangchen? In terms of origin, the cultivators there can be considered to be of the same origin as you. And you've all joined my Shangchen, so you're not bound by the rules. You're free and happy, and you can do whatever you want. But here, you have to be bound by the rules of mortals. How uncomfortable is that? "
At this time, a disciple suddenly walked into the hall and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Martial Brother, there are dozens of warships coming to us from the Military Department."
The Daoist smiled and said, "You see, even if you're willing to bow down, they may not be willing to believe you. You're all cultivators." He shook his head and said, "This poor Daoist feels that you're not worthy."
Bian Lan said coldly, "Shangchen isn't a good place. The cultivators above treat the cultivators below like slaves. They bully and abuse the weak as if it's nothing. The cultivators below have no dignity at all."
The Daoist smiled and said, "That's because you haven't found the right people. Besides, you're all Xuan Zun's disciples. If I treat you harshly, who will come to join me in the future?"
These words moved some people, but no one agreed. After all, every one of them had cultivated and grown up in Tianxia since they were young. If it wasn't for the fact that they had nowhere else to go, no one would be willing to rely on foreign enemies.
Besides, they were Yu Xuanzun's disciples. If they joined Shangchen, wouldn't they be harming their own master?
And in this silence, a strange snake with six legs and four wings, with two heads and a compound tail suddenly flew in from the outside of the hall. It spread its wings, and with a bang, a ring of red light spread out around its body!
For a moment, the aura of Bian Lan and the others trembled, and their spirits swayed, unable to control themselves. The Daoist, on the other hand, showed a look of horror. He realized that something was wrong and was eager to escape. However, as soon as he turned around, his body peeled off like weathered sand and then collapsed, turning into a gray powder on the ground.
As the red light faded, the strange snake also disappeared. Only then did everyone come back to their senses, only to see Liang Yi standing in the hall.
Bian Lan couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother!"
Liang Yi looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Bian, you're confused." He pointed to the pile of dust and said, "A person like this should be killed as soon as he reveals his identity. You shouldn't say a word to him."
Bian Lan was shocked and remembered the seriousness of the matter. He bowed and admitted his mistake frankly, "Yes, it's my fault. I'm willing to accept the punishment. I'll ask for forgiveness from the Military Department later. This is all my fault."
He thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother, your cultivation is higher than expected, is it …"
When the red light shone, no one was hurt at all. This kind of subtle control of mana was definitely not something that Liang Yi could have done in the past.
Liang Yi shook his head and said, "It's still missing something. I can feel it, it's still missing something. But it feels like it's already very close. However, just like what I told you, the path ahead is clear. Xuan Zun has already opened the upper level of the Mysterious Technique. This is something that even Teacher has never done before. Those who are fated can follow this path and see the upper level! "
He looked at everyone and said, "Xuan Zun is the one who opened the path for the Righteous Technique recognized by the Xuanting. We respect his position and place him on the same level as Teacher."
The disciples were startled at first, but then they all agreed.
Bian Lan thought for a moment and immediately understood the key point. He said, "Senior Brother is right. I'm afraid that it won't be long before all the Xuanxiu in the world will worship Xuan Zun's position. We should take the first step and let Xuan Zun know that our generation is pursuing the Dao."
